inland was incorporated into Sweden during the Crusades
of the 12th century. Social and religious influences from Sweden
affected inland to join the sphere of Western culture. That period
of time coincided with the construction of innish administration.
Education was governed by the Church; education was
provided by monastic schools and the cathedral school established
in Turku in the 13th century. Instruction was in Latin and aimed
primarily at ecclesiastical career. The Lutheran Reformation of the
16th century introduced the idea of vernacular education and the
first innish-language ABC book. Work for this was carried out

country, its availability to all citizens and the continuous efforts to
increase the level of education constituted a policy for the young
nation from the very beginning. The Constitution, enacted in 1919,
contained a commitment to provide for free compulsory education
and free basic education. Moreover, the public authorities were
